I saw a couple threads in here asking about creating links to the next & previous posts within single.php, but no answers. I worked up something that works for me and looks good, so figured I’d share.

The code starts after the ‘div id=container’ line & ends before the ‘arcticle id=post’ line

<div style="text-align:center;margin-left:-300px;">
<?php previous_post('« «  %', '', 'yes'); ?>   |   <?php next_post('%  » »', '', 'yes'); ?>
</div>

just copy/paste the entire thing into single.php…lines 2-3 of the code in this post is actually just one really long line. It’ll paste correctly.

Man, it works great for me too.

I have a question it’s possible to set the font size? what should I do, any hint will be appreciated.

Hi many thanks for this, helped me a lot!
For the font size, I managed to increase it by adding this:

<font size=4>
</font>

before and after.

I also altered the text alignment, so mine looks like this:

<div style=”text-align:left”><font size=4>
<?php previous_post(‘« « %’, ”, ‘yes’); ?> | <?php next_post(‘% » »’, ”, ‘yes’); ?></font>

Hope this helps!
